NFL to consider major pass interference change

After the debacle in New Orleans during the NFC title game, the league admitted to missing a pass interference call late in the 4th quarter and will consider making a major change to the pass interference rule.

The NFL and the rulemaking competition committee will give consideration this offseason to making pass interference calls reviewable.

"It will be discussed at length along with additional fouls that coaches feel should be subject to review,” a person familiar with the league’s inner workings told The Washington Post Monday. "And there will be discussion on (replay) review of calls and non-calls."

Another judgment call the league could take a look at are hits to defenseless receivers. The Redskins got burned by the referees in Dallas when there was no flag thrown for an obvious helmet-to-helmet hit late in the 4th quarter on tight end Jordan Reed.

Jordan Reed has every right to be furious, clear hit to the helmet and it goes uncalled. Has to be frustrating, especially for a guy with a history of concussions. pic.twitter.com/v6EBmS2qNW
